I don't have experience with flexwatt, but the option compared to multiple thermostats is the herpstat. With the pro system you get 4 seperate ourputs that each have their own probe. Right now we are using Helix, but if we would have known about the herpstat that would have been the direction we would have went. Three Helix units cost $420+ while the herpstat is $320+ and monitors 4 probes for 4 different outputs. If you buy the computer software that should make programming them a breeze it would only be another $80 and take care of all the units you ever decide to buy.

I talked with people from Helix and I was very impressed with the quality control and care that goes into building their DBS1000 units and the passion they seem to have about their product. I would go into some of the technical stuff we talked about, but I think it would bore you to death.

I plan on calling spider robotics and see how good they can make me feel about their system before I 100% switch.
